Grateful Dead Videogame in the Works

The Grateful Dead are the latest band to make the transition into videogames, as developer Curious Sense announced this week that it is developing an online and mobile title starring the classic American rock and roll band.

According toa reportby USA Today, this will not be a rhythm game along the lines of Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Instead, it seems to be a collection of mini-games, each themed around a specific track.

"It could be, for example, Terrapin Station or it could be Dark Star and they will be taken into a game that is specific to a certain song,"said Curious Sense founder Adam Blumenthal."Even Angry Birds, this new blockbuster game, that model could maybe be adapted for a game based on the song Samson and Delilah in which the chorus is 'If I had my way, I would tear this old building down'."

The game is expected to launch in August.
